Product description
No other trace element has been described as having such a wide range of effects as iodine: As a component of the thyroid hormone, iodine prevents the formation of goiter in fish. It is necessary for the molting of crabs and is involved in the hardening of the chitin shell. Red coralline algae store iodine in their surface structure, gorgonians in their axial skeleton. Brown algae also accumulate the trace element to a large extent.
Experiments have shown that Tropic Marin® Iodine the light adaptation and coloration of cnidarians, especially stony corals, is greatly improved. Since a natural supply of trace elements is not guaranteed in saltwater aquariums, iodine should be added regularly. Tropic Marin® Iodine contains iodine in its most effective form: as elemental I2 in a Lugol's solution.
Application & dosage
Add one drop daily Tropic Marin® Iodine per 200 l of aquarium content in the aquarium near a circulation pump. If a daily dose is missed, skip that dose. Missed doses must not be added together.
The iodine requirement increases with the stocking density of the aquarium. In densely populated aquariums, the dosage can be increased to the maximum dosage.
Maximum dosage : A dosage of 2 drops per 200 liters of aquarium water per day should not be exceeded.
